How does local video recording work?

March 16, 2017 23:28

There are two ways to record videos to a microSD card: Continuous Recording and Cloud Video Backup.

Continuous Recording

You can tell your camera to continuously record video 24/7 to a microSD card. This allows you to keep a log of videos going, in case you need to go back and check what occurred at a particular point in time. These videos are accessed by removing the microSD card and plugging it into a computer.

The video is split into 1-minute clips. Videos are categorized into folders for each hour; these folders are then categorized into folders for each day.

Cloud Video Backup

This option will save a copy of your cloud videos to a microSD card. It helps you keep all the cloud videos and not to worry that you may lose access to some cloud videos because they are deleted to make room for new cloud videos.

To get started,

Expand Spot’s base and insert a microSD card into the slot underneath Spot.
